Looks like a great book, it’s been ordered and should be in my hands in about a week.

What you need is this book: http://www.realgroovy.co.nz/books/isbn/0140515615

It’s called ‘The Meaning of Tingo’, and is rather cool. I own it, if you’d like to borrow sometime.

I don’t know german at all really. What I know I’ve just picked up here and there… babelfish and german < -> english dictionaries are great! Niesen is sneeze btw… but I thought in Deutschland you do say Gesundheit after someone sneezes… anyway I really should get around to learning another language, I think it would be great.

I’d guess:
Du hast eigentlich und Meisten falsch buchstabiert.

I was talking about the Gesundheit after sneezing thing, but I couldn’t remember what sneeze was in german so I didn’t say. But yeah, it’s been a while, my german’s not so hot any more :-(. How come you know german?

Or should it be:

Du hast falsch eigentlich und Meisten buchstabiert? Crazy structure.

Du hast falsch buchstabiert eigentlich und Meisten :P.

Heh cool. A few cool words in there also. What’s so interesting about the usage of the word health in english? Or are you talking about the whole ‘Gesundheit’ after sneezing?

Ja, solche Worte sind nutzlich. Ich fand es interessant dass Americaner das Wort Gesundheit benutzen. Die Miesten haben keine ahnung mehr was es eignetlich bedeutet.
